Gratitude

Gratitude comes with age

When I was young
I went after what I wanted
with little regard to
the consequences

Oh I was polite
so very polite
After all
honey attracts more bees
than vinegar

But as silver coursed my hair
what little hair I had left
I began to understand
yes understand
the Beauty life is

How precious a mother is
How irreplaceable a father’s love
The wisdom of a grandparents glance
Are all as dew on a petal
before Sunrise

Gratitude needs age
